The purpose of this study is to identify issues related to the execution of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights against Armenia in the cases where the Court found a violation of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Within the scope of the research a number of judgments delivered in respect of Armenia (as of October 2020) were highlighted, and general measures undertaken by the state, as well as relevant legislation, law enforcement practice and responses to the inquiries referred to the competent authorities were analyzed. In a number of cases lawyers, as well as several judges were interviewed in order to undertake a more comprehensive assessment of the implementation issues.
The study revealed problems at the level of legislation and law enforcement practice which lead to the recurrence of similar violations and hinder the proper execution of ECHR judgments by the state. More importantly, summaries of the analysis of the situation and the description of the problems include proposals for specific recommendations which should contribute to preventing similar violations in the future.
